Its time for a sexy BLOWTHROUGH build! Check out my best work here!


Recommended Posts

Okay everyone, Here is the beginning of a build that I have put more thought, blood, sweat, tears, and effort into than any other build I have ever done!

I am always open for Constructive Criticism in any of my builds!

I know most of you like to see goals/equipment lists in the first post.

Goals:

NOT cutting any corners on anything or "rigging" anything up

Build something that can promote my dream of becoming an audio enthusiast and shop owner

Build something with mids and highs that can keep up with the bass

(Even though I never build anything geared towards numbers,) achieve 150+db on either the kick or windshield on music.

Build an enclosure for the subs that can be played at full tilt, and rest a penny on the top of it and have it not move at all

Expand my knowledge of fabrication and learn as much as I can.

Edit: (forgot to add this) Not have ANY interior or exterior rattles at all.

Equipment:

2011 Ford F150 4 door full cab 2 wheel drive with 6 inch lift kit, 20 inch rims, 35 inch tires, and a nice train horn :)

2 Rockford Fosgate Punch Pro tweeters

4 Rockford Fosgate Punch Pro 6.5 mids

4 Rockford Fosgate Punch Pro 8 mids

2 Crescendo Audio Symphony 800/4s

1 Sundown Audio NS-1

6 Sundown Audio SA 12s

Loads of Sky High and Audio Technix 16 gauge, 12 gauge, 4 gauge, 1/0 gauge, and 2/0 gauge wire

3 Powersafe 190 ah batteries

Singer 320 amp alternator

Custom subwoofer enclosure

Custom door pods

Custom Battery rack

Custom Amp rack

Custom Ipad dash

Custom center console

Custom rear wall trim

Custom trim around sub enclosure

Clarion 7 band EQ

Bluetooth Reciever

^there is probably a good amount that I dont remember lol

Pictures to follow :)

There are Soo many people to thank for helping bring this build to life, even the smallest bits of advice can help so much!

For that, I say a big THANKYOU!

DAMN! Thats a ton o' stuff! Excited for this :)

Funny how the people who have a louder system than you will usually give you a compliment about your setup because they know how much blood, sweat, time, and money you put into it. The people who criticize or try and one up you....have a p.o.s to no system at all and will tell you all about this "other" guys system! Saddley I'm sure if I meet this "other" guy...he will probably tell me he thinks your just as annoying as I think you are!

I'm not compensating, just proud of fabricating!

It all began with the first step being the Ipad integrated into the factory dash in place of the factory radio. This will be My impression of the soundman float mount kit. It does not charge, but It will bluetooth to the audio system

Started out by making a pan out of fiberglass for the Ipad to sit into.

Then, we filled right up to the edges with Rage Extreme to provide a nice tight fit.

Then I cut the bottom half out and added some wood to it to make it tilt out

I also drilled holes in the top of it and added neo magnets to hold the ipad In like the smartcover works.

Then, we Picked up an aftermarket Radio bezel for the truck, and Cut a hole just big enough for the Ipad pan to sit in there,
